Here’s something you don’t witness daily. I shall be working at Microsoft from Tuesday and my group is going to Linux Asia and I wanted to be with them. So just asked my boss casually whether I could attend it, thoroughly expecting a polite smile and a soft “Not really, it’s against corporate policy”. To my amazement, he pings me on yahoo messenger and tells me to go right ahead and attend it.
Now that’s really cool! It appears that so long as I get my work done, and I don’t disclose anything I do to outsiders, Microsoft has no issues if I go to Linux events and that too on working days.
If anyone else is planning to be there, that would be a good chance for us to meet up. The event is in Delhi and India Habitat Center on the 31st of Jan to 2nd of Feb.
I’ll be at Microsoft, Hyd between 16th January and 16th May. So will be absent from the Pune scene for a while.
